Byju’s class: https://byjus.com/biology/biotic-and-abiotic/
As learners were asked to list down the natural things they observed they will share the list
in group which should lead to the discussion of living and non living things and then to biotic
and abiotic and the difference between abiotic and non living things has to be specified.
Learners will draw a vendiagram showing the biotic and abiotic things thus leading to
discussion on ecosystem.
An ecosystem is a large community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) and
physical components (abiotic factors) which are linked together through nutrient cycles and
energy flows. Ecosystems are of any size, but usually they are in particular places.

Decomposer: an organism, especially a soil
bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that
decomposes organic material.
However the truth of the matter usually is;
No, we actually have dead soil! ...
Compacted soil is usually a sign of dead
soil because microbial communities,
worms, etc. can't live in soils without
oxygen, water, or minerals to feed on.Apr

Soil: Biotic and Abiotic:
Live or dead?
Soil is a living thing – it is very slowly moving, changing and growing all the time.
Just like other living things, soil breathes and needs air and water to stay alive.
Healthy, living soil provides us with our everyday needs.
